Patented June 25, 1907.

Application filed March 26,1907. Serial No. 364,692.

To (Ill 'mhom/ it may (.UIIJIIHIL:

Be it known that I, THOMAS ll. lIiLLEY, a citizen. ol' the United States, residing llugo, in .l)istriet 24, and Indian 'lerritory, have invented a new and useful Plow-Heel, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has relation to adjustable plow heels and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement 01' its parts as hereinafter shown and described.

The object of the invention is to )rovide a heel which is adapted to be plied to a )low standard and which may )e adjusted in order to regulate the depth at which the point will cut into the soil.

The heel consists primarily of a triangular frame the base of which is provided at its ends with curls to which the lower end of the sides are hinged. Means is provided for adjustably holding the upper ends of the sides together. The forward side is provided with an elongated slot which receives the heel bolt and by means of whieh the heel is fixed to the standard. The base of the triangle is provided with a wear plate.

is a side elevation of the heel applied to a plow standard, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the heel.

The heel consists of a triangular frame which is composed of the base 1 having at its end curls 2, The lower ends of the sides 3 and 4 are hinged to the curls 2. The rear side 4 is substantially areuate in edge elevation and is provided at its upper portion with an elongated slot 5. The forward upper surface of the side 4. in the vicinity of the slot 5 is roughened as at 6. The side 3 is provided 1 with an elongated slot 7 which is adapted to receive the heel bolt 8 by means of which the heel is attached to the plow standard. The

upper end oi the side 3 is rearwardly and. l downwardly curved and its rear surface is roughened as at 9. The belt 10 passes transversely through the upper rear end of the sides 3 and also through the slot .5 and is held by means of a nut bearing against the rear surface of the side 4. A Wear plate 11 extends along the under surface of the base 1 and is held in position by the screws 11.

From the l'm'egoing description it is ob vious that the heel may be adjusted longitudinally along the plow standard. and that the angle of inclination of the base 1 with. relation to the plow standard may be varied at will by means of the elongated slot 5 provided at the up er portion of the side 4. \Vhen one wear pl ate 10 becomes worn out it may be readily removed and another substituted therefor.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by I letters- 1 Patent is:- In the accompanying drawmg: l*1gure 1 l A plow heel comprising a base having at its ends upwardly disposed curls, sides hinged. to said curls and means for adjustably securing the upper ends of the sides together.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
